Description

Home cooks who remember CorningWare from the 1950s should know that this bakeware is not old-fashioned--on the contrary, it is just as useful and convenient today as it was when their mothers first started using it. The French White series of bakeware has an updated fluted exterior and is a versatile vanilla white color that matches any dinnerware and kitchen décor. This serving set includes two baking dishes that are sure to become staples for family meals. The 2-1/2-quart oval dish measures 11 inches long, 8-1/4 inches wide, and has high 2-1/2-inch sides that make it ideal for baking and serving savory bread puddings and lasagnas. The 1-1/2-quart round dish has a 7-inch diameter and is an appropriate shape for making a shepherd's pie or side-dish casserole. Each dish is fitted with a durable Pyrex glass cover that seals in moisture while allowing cooks to keep an eye on their meal as it bakes. In addition, the larger dish comes with a metal cradle that makes it easier to lift and carry heavy casseroles from oven to table. Made of nonporous stoneware, these dishes won't stain or absorb flavors or odors. Additionally, the dishes and their lids are safe for the dishwasher and can move among the oven, microwave, refrigerator, and freezer without experiencing any cracking due to temperature changes. CorningWare provides a one-year limited warranty on the stoneware dishes and a two-year limited warranty on the glass covers. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Reviews

Amazon reviewer, this is not 1950s-90s Corningware! It's only stoneware.

"Your mother's" Corningware was not this stuff. This is only stoneware from China.The original "French White" Corningware was made of Corning's famous pyroceramic glass, which could be used on the gas stove, put directly in the freezer, put under the broiler right from the freezer, and oh yes, also used in a microwave. And it was very unlikely to shatter if dropped. If you pounded on it with a hammer and nail you might have gotten it to break.When World Kitchens bought the license from Corning, they decided to halt production of a line of cookware that would take anything and last forever, and dupe customers, especially brides (and Amazon reviewers), into thinking the stoneware "French White" was the same thing as the wonderful French White pyroceramic cookware previously available to their mothers and sisters.The pattern is very attractive and can be used with any decor, and they do offer many sizes, but this stuff is not, repeat, really not, what people mean when they say "Corningware." You want to be aware of what you are getting if you are thinking of purchasing it.Le Creuset can do most of the above mentioned, but it being metal you cannot use it in the microwave. Stoneware cannot go on top of the stove, and repeated trips from the freezer to the oven will eventually cause it to craze and crack. And stoneware will also chip, and break if dropped, etc. Pyrex glassware cannot go on the gas stove although you can take it from the freezer to the oven, and also microwave it.The only product which could do anything was pyroceramic, and World Kitchens has chosen to remove it from the market because it is "too good."They have recently brought back a few of the old square shapes, with the Cornflower, or plain white, calling it "vintage," but the French White shape is not making a reappearance yet. If you want it, email them and ask for it!Meanwhile, get Le Creuset for stovetop cooking and roasting (yes it is expensive but it lasts forever and cooks beautifully), and reheat things in Pyrex in the microwave.

Keep looking for the original Corningware

The review above is so right. I made the mistake of putting this on a stove top and it cracked. The separate metal handle is also pretty stupid - awkward to use and store. Try fitting a hot casserole into it while you have oven mitts on. The good news is I recently went to a Corningware outlet store and they had a set of stove-top/oven/freezer/microwave casseroles - like the one I used to have. Not cheap but it's made in France. I haven't used it yet, but it seems like it's being reintroduced.

Great price

I have already used this product for green bean casserole for the holidays. It's great and made it to me quickly.
